Friday! Happy Friday!
I really came to America and used English to learn American history and really learned something. That's an amazing thing, you know? In the test, I read the problem, really understood what it asked, really thought about which answer is right, in my mind really has the answer. Though it is actually just a little test. It’s touching that I really could do something.
At lunch time I talked about the coffee with my friend. I forgot to write that yesterday. Yesterday was my first time drinking “real” coffee. Before yesterday I didn't drink coffee and said I don’t like coffee. The reason is my dad, he likes drinking coffee very much, but he mostly drinks black coffee, the coffee he makes for me is also similar to black coffee. Veryyyy bitter. That made me think all coffee drinks like that. Until yesterday, thanks for the rest of the coffee, I finally drank the coffee that tasted the same as coffee candy, I originally thought the coffee candy flavor was fake, haha. In fact coffee is good! My friend expressed sympathy about this.
Today my host mom's class had a baking sale. After the sale me and my host sisters and my host brother help wash dishes and set them back for two hours. So tired, haha.
After eating dinner, the whole family watched movies together. I fell asleep halfway, too tired, and the sofa was too comfortable.
At 9pm I had a meeting, so I left halfway. It’s my second time “calling” with my family, which sounds a little incredible. I think I can find one day with nothing to do and talk about homesick.
The meeting had one lady to introduce the U.S. examination system with us. After listening it, my mind was “ My life is tooooo boring!” Alas, I have to have a lot of off-campus activity, and better continue it for a long time, and connect with the major I wanna have is best. Though I already knew a little about it, I still felt hard.
I'm very otaku, lazy, and afraid of trouble. If you really asked me what off-campus activity I have, I can't think of anything at once. Alas.
But the good news is that my gpa may still could be saved. But I need to try very hard at 11 and 12 grade. I know my weakness: I'm lazy, I don't wanna try hard. I already said it: to be honest, that’s one reason why I go exchange. It’s easier for me to learn English in an English environment than studying English hard. If I don’t change it, I don’t think I can get a great grade when I go back to Taiwan.
Now I wanna try to wake up early and memorize 30 vocabulary words everyday. If I really could do that, I would really get rid of my problem. But it’s very hard for me. Since junior high school I have try to change it, but now it’s still not changed. That's another reason why I wanna go exchange. I’ve said it also. I wanna see whether I can change if I go to a very different environment. Now, I am trying now, but when I waste my time, I always forgot my original intention. I really need to remind myself at all times. Alas, so hard. Come on, I can do it!
By the way, the consultant said writing a diary is better because that can record my mind and it would be easier for me to write my introduction for university. And if I can write my diary in English it would be better because apply for university would also test composition. I've already done both. I am so good, amn’t I?
The consultant also gave me a reading list about SAT, and suggested that I can memorize 20 words a day. At least now I have an orientation to try hard.
I think we will have one more meeting next time, if I really spend money for it, that’s mean I can't let this money down.

星期五!星期五快樂!
我真的來到美國,用英語學習美國歷史,真的學到了一些東西。這是一件不可思議的事情,你知道嗎?在測試中,我讀到了題目,真的明白了它問了什麼,真的想過哪個答案是對的,在我的腦海裡真的有答案。雖然它實際上只是一個小測試。很感動,我真的可以做點什麼。
午餐時間,我和朋友談論了咖啡。我昨天忘記寫了。昨天是我第一次喝“真正的”咖啡。昨天之前我沒喝咖啡,說我不喜歡咖啡。原因是我爸,他很喜歡喝咖啡,但他主要喝的是黑咖啡,他給我煮的咖啡也和黑咖啡差不多。很苦。這讓我覺得所有的咖啡飲料都是這樣的。直到昨天,感謝剩下的咖啡,我終於喝到了和咖啡糖味道一樣的咖啡,我原本以為咖啡糖的味道是假的,哈哈。其實咖啡很好喝!我的朋友對此表示同情。
今天我寄宿媽媽的班級有一個烘焙銷售。售完後,我和我的寄宿姐妹和我的寄宿兄弟幫忙洗碗,放了兩個小時。好累,哈哈。
吃過晚飯,一家人一起看電影。我中途睡著了,太累了,沙發太舒服了。
晚上9點我開會,所以我中途離開了。這是我第二次和家人“打電話”,這聽起來有點不可思議。我想我可以找一天無所事事,談談想家。
會議有一位女士與我們介紹美國的考試制度。聽完後,我的心裡是“我的生活太無聊了!”唉,我必須有很多校外活動,最好繼續長時間,並與我想擁有的專業聯繫起來最好。雖然我已經知道了一點,但我還是覺得很艱難。 我非常宅男,懶惰,怕麻煩。如果你真的問我有什麼校外活動,我一下子想不出來。唉。
但好消息是我的 gpa 可能仍然可以拯救。但我需要在 11 年級和 12 年級時非常努力。我知道我的弱點:我很懶,我不想努力。我已經說過了:老實說,這就是我去交換的原因之一。對我來說,在英語環境中學習英語比努力學習英語更容易。如果不改的話,我想我回台灣也考不上好成績。
現在我想嘗試早起,每天記住30個詞彙。如果我真的能做到這一點,我真的會擺脫我的問題。但這對我來說非常困難。從初中開始就想改,現在還是沒改。這也是我想去交換的另一個原因。我也說過。我想看看如果我去一個非常不同的環境,我是否可以改變。現在,我現在正在努力,但是當我浪費時間時,我總是忘記了我的初衷。我真的需要時刻提醒自己。唉,太難了。加油,我能行!
順便說一句,顧問說寫日記比較好,因為這樣可以記錄我的想法,我寫大學的介紹會更容易。如果我能用英文寫日記就更好了,因為申請大學也會考作文。我已經做了兩個。我很好,不是嗎?
顧問還給了我一份關於SAT的閱讀清單,並建議我每天可以背20個單詞。至少現在我有了努力的方向。
我想下次我們會再開一次會,而如果我真的花錢,那就意味著我不能讓這筆錢失望。

我如果修文是儘量照翻譯修的,因為我不想讓人以為我英文一定是正確的,中文完全照英文翻大家可以自己斟酌。
但還是根本沒人看英文我中文可以翻的放飛一點?我也不知道。
字太多google翻譯竟然翻不完,哈哈
